Since we are converting from cubic millimeters to cubic meters, we have to adjust the conversion.
(1 millimeter)^3 = (0.001 meter)^3
(1 millimeter)^3 = 0.000000001 meter^3
Thus, 1,463,000 cubic millimetres =
0.000000001 x 1,463,000 = 0.001463 cubic meters
Answer: E

The trick here maybe to just drop the ugly numbers and transform 1,463,000 cubic mm into 1,000,000 cubic mm just to understand the logic behind.
If volume of a cube equals \(10^6\) cubic mm and the formula is side * side * side, we can infer that the side measures \(10^2\) mm, or 100 mm.
And 100 mm = 0.1 mt. Therefore the side measures 0.1 mt.
In volume, this would be represented as 0.1 mt * 0.1 mt * 0.1 mt, which yields 0.001 cubic mt.
The answer choice should have 2 zeroes between the point and the first decimal different to zero.

Comma's should be converted to points for better understanding of the problem .

Hi
pushpitkc i dont get for some reason logic of sentence in red...
if 1 mm is 0.001 cubic mt. then
then shouldnt we divide 1463000 by 0,001

Hi
dave13 1 mm is 0.001 mt
1 cubic mm will be \((0.001)^3 = 0.000000001\) cubic meter
Since we are given the volume of the box is 1,463,000 cubic millimeters, to convert into
cubic meter, we need to multiply it by 0.000000001.
1,463,000 cubic mm = 1,463,000*0.000000001 = 0.01463 cubic meter.
Hope this helps you!
